41 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Carlos

“This is the best Indian food I've ever had!

First off, the plating and presentation of everything is stunning! We had four appetizers and each looked too beautiful to eat. They were ALL the most delicious and flavorful bites!

We also got the lamb, butter paneer, daal makhani, and the jafrani kofta. Each one was amazing! I couldn't pick a favorite. I've eaten at many Indian food places in the Bay Area and this one outdoes all others with flavors, presentation, and service.

Let's talk about the service!! Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly, checked in to see how we liked everything, and even brought out a dessert for my dad after hearing it was his birthday. We really loved everyone we met there, especially Romeo who was so attentive and kind!

Make sure to visit here, even if just to share appetizers, it's worth it!“

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!“

“Three friends and I dined at Rangoon Ruby in San Carlos on a quiet Thursday evening (except for a wild 49ers game that was being celebrated in nearby establishments!). We chose all vegetarian options, and everything was plentiful and delicious. We had the tea leaf salad, (very light and refreshing), the garlic eggplant (deep purple and delicious without being gooey), Burmese pad tai (pungent sauce on perfectly cooked noodles) and veggie kabat (a mix of vegetables and tofu stir-fried with paprika, masala, tamarind, jalapenos, mint leaves, tomatoes, onions and cilantro) . We also had two orders of coconut rice. The salad plus three main courses was plenty of food! We thought everything was delicious and comparatively (in this neighborhood!) reasonably priced. We were treated very respectfully and were allowed to take our time.“

“Love this place so much! Some of the best tacos I've had in quite a while. I got 3 tacos. 2 al pastor and 1 asada. The meat is fresh and the right amount of flavor and the salsa on the tacos are perfect. What's nice is they also have a salsa bar where you can get a bag of ships and different salsas. Definitely going back again“

“Absolutely delicious!
Everything we tried was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and fast. Highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean food!“

“A place that values quality and source of ingredients“

“Great place to get together with friends & family. We had about 30 people for a family get together. Service was great. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting! Most of the food was outstanding. We are actually from Hawaii so we’re very critical about the food.“

“Good counter service option on Laurel Street. We’ve eaten here a few times. It’s good in that I like a few specific menu items that we tend to reorder and they are consistently enjoyable. Ambiance/location is great and good for bringing friends or visitors for a casual bite before or after strolling Laurel Street“

“West Park Bistro is absolutely one of my favorite spots! Everything on the menu is delicious, but my top picks are definitely the fish tacos and the goat cheese with pistachio so unique and full of flavor. And their steaks are always cooked perfectly and taste amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly, and the staff are always welcoming and kind. Every visit has been a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“I'm so glad I discovered this restaurant! My friend and I really enjoyed our dinner here. We split the bruchetta special, which featured burata, peaches and sliced almonds. It was amazing. For dinner I had the Cappellaci (housemade butternut squash tortellini), which was delicious. My friend had the Pennette Vodka, which she also enjoyed. The service was excellent: warm, friendly, and very professional. I plan to bring my husband here for date night sometime soon!“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

“A Hidden Gem: IGuey Taqueria Delivers Unforgettable Mexican Cuisine and Heartfelt Service!

I've found my culinary home at IGuey Taqueria. This spot is an absolute hidden gem and highly underrated. If you haven't experienced the magic here, you're truly missing out! The food is simply amazing. Every dish bursts with vibrant flavors, transporting you straight to Mexico. The carnitas tacos and enchiladas are exceptional – perfectly tender carnitas and masterfully balanced enchiladas.

What truly sets IGuey Taqueria apart is their exceptional service and the genuine warmth of the owners. They're incredibly hands-on, personally ensuring every customer has an outstanding experience. This attentiveness creates the most homely experience – you feel like a cherished guest.

For authentic, delicious Mexican food served with genuine hospitality, look no further than this place. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience. I can't recommend it enough!“

“The best pizza on the peninsula 💯 I am a big fan of Blue Line Pizza. I hope their restaurant will expand statewide!
Their deep-dish pizza was just amazing. The addictive texture of the cornmeal pizza dough can only be found here!
We visited last night. The two ladies' table services were great, especially the Asian girl, who was just amazing. We wish we could come back to have more different flavors 😊“

“Customized my bagels, which was the good thing about this. Place is small and like a mom and pop kind of bagel place. Someone takes your order and delivers it to you while you wait. The place is tight and 1-2 tables outside and a little bench inside. Bagels were good though after customizing it to how I want! Instead of everything bagel I think they called it all in one. Still good and filling. Had to get latte elsewhere but worth it for a quick pick me up.“

“Watched an NBA game, college basketball ?, and Olympics on two different big screens. Good volume, not too loud. Amazing pizza as always, best crust. Clean, fast, great beer selection. Great way to end an evening of adventures with my son.

Parking: Short walk from available street parking on El Camino Real. My understanding is there is a good sized lot in the back but never needed to go there.“

“good Italian ice cream so good“

“We visited Siamese kitchen yesterday for dinner. Spring rolls were good not oily. Pad kee maw was spicy and flavourful. Coconut ice cream was good too. The dishes were a little pricey but may be because of inflation.Overall service was quick and good,tasty food and nice ambience.“

“Simply the best pho on the Peninsula! This is a very casual restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and staff and a video screen that shows authentic food preparation scenes from Vietnam. The service can at times be a little overwhelmed, because at dinner times they tend to be a little busy. But they are always pleasant and the food is fantastic and a good value at today's prices.“

“Excellent Georgian food! The spinach pkhali was a perfect start, and the chakapuli lamb stew was rich and flavorful. The khachapuri was cheesy and delicious. It's a 4-star experience only because the service was a bit slow, but the freshness of the food makes the wait worth it. Highly recommend for an authentic taste of Georgian cuisine.“

“Best coffee in San Carlos... by a considerable distance.“

“We discovered Yan's a year ago and have been coming back ever since.

Yan's has a laidback, family-owned feel. The service is friendly, and I feel taken care of when I walk in.

The portions are generous so expect leftovers. The salt and pepper fried pork and the sticky rice cakes for dessert are my favorites every time.“

“Sarahi somehow manages to educate you on the menu, ensure a clean table, and communicates your wishes for the perfect meal to the cooking team all while giving you a welcoming smile. Something about a perfect swirl froyo afterward makes this experience beyond satisfactory. The City of Good Living is lucky to have this gem with such a kind staff.“

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.“

“Amazing tea with great variety! Accidentally stumbled across this place, have returned since, and am never disappointed! The milk tea boba is great, but the Super Fruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba is next level. The fresh fruit slices mixed in with the tea are a refreshing surprise and the fruit is always ripe and delicious. I tried the grapefruit fruit tea today as well which hit the spot! Would definitely recommend checking out Tea Juice!“
